Cases of equality for refinements of Bernstein's inequality (Q2497128)

The aim of the authors is to identify the extremal polynomials \(p\) of degree at most \(n\) for several sharpenings of Bernstein's inequality \(\| p'\| _D\leq n \| p\| _D\) on the unit disc \(D\), obtained by Frappier, Rahman and Ruscheweyh in the 80's. An example is \[ | zp'(z)-p(z)+p(0)| + | p(0)| \leq (n-1)\| p\| _D \] when \( n\geq 2\). The conclusion is that equality holds for some \(z\) only if \(p\) is the zero polynomial or a monomial of degree \(n\).
